I think by the time we really started talking about making a company, it was the whole market coming up. I always saw the value and I kind of adored a bit of the hype around or like mainstream media dunking on crypto constantly. It's some kind of an easy target. So yeah, I was a little worried about it,. The more I dug into it, the more I realized that, you know, I think a lot of the most interesting things in computer science are going on in this space right now.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Guillermo chat with Brian Retford and Jeremy Bruestle from RISC Zero. They discuss their previous work in cloud infrastructure and how ZK offered unique solutions to long standing scaling problems. They cover topics like RISC-V, building VMs, and how RISC Zero aims to build a system which could support a decentralized public cloud.
